Are You Into K-Pop?

Most Read

Be honest — in the past month, have you or your friends ridden an invisible horse while shouting, "Oppan Gangnam style"? If you answered yes, you-like the rest of the world-have been bit by the K-pop bug.

It seems like overnight, Korean pop music has exploded on the internet, with South Korean stars like Wonder Girls, SHINee, and the infamous Psy now making their way onto our iPods and Facebook walls. With its people-packed music videos, infectious beat, and viral-worthy dance moves, K-pop is taking the music scene by storm.

Although Blush (another famous K-pop girl group) is one of the only groups that sing in English, language clearly isn't a barrier for American listeners. English phrases are sprinkled in the chorus of almost every K-pop song, letting you understand just enough of its catchy lyrics to get you hooked and singing.

But whether you're a fan of this new craze or not, the rest of the world has spoken: Psy's "Gangnam Style" has officially set the Guinness World Record for most "Likes" ever received on a Youtube video. K-pop may not be history in the making, but this super catchy movement is definitely not going anywhere soon.
